Santa Clara (CA) - Intel confirmed that it will showcase its "next generation" desktop processor architecture at the upcoming Intel Developer Forum (IDF) Fall. Code-named Conroe, the new processors promise a significant lower power consumption than the current NetBurst architecture that is used in the Pentium 4 and Pentium D 800. Intel has no intent of slowing down its aggressive pace to renovate its processor across all segments and quickly move to dual-core products. Rob Chapman, general manager for the IDF, told journalists in a preview of the conference that the company will continue to unveil new code-names of future platforms and offer details about upcoming chips
Such details and "news" are expected especially to cover the next Centrino platform, code-named "Napa" and the next single- and dual-core Pentium M processor, code-named "Yonah." While most features and specifications of Yonah, which will be released in January of 2006, are public information or were described by Tom's Hardware Guide in earlier articles, there will be substantial interest in Intel's "next generation" processor architecture. The current architecture named "NetBurst" was launched with the Pentium 4 ("Willamette") in 2000 and is quickly nearing the end of its life. With power consumption at record levels, Intel has no room to increase clock speeds and performance levels in the current Pentium 4 500/600 and the 90 nm Pentium D 800. The 65 nm part Pentium D 900 ("Presler"), the last NetBurst Pentium, will launch in Q1 2006 with slight increases in clock speeds.
Chapman confirmed that CEO Paul Otellini will unveil the NetBurst successor in his opening keynote. Code-named "Conroe," the processor is expected to cut power consumption of the current Pentium 4 in half and launch in the second half of next year. The architecture of Conroe is expected to spill over into other product families such as volume server and workstation chips such as the Xeon DP.
